      <title>FUNDAMENTAL AND ENGINEERING ASPECTS OF COATINGS FOR DIESEL AND GAS TURBINE ENGINEERING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/402770</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The working environments generated in both diesel and gas turbine engines are extremely demanding. Components must have the strength to operate at high temperatures, to be able to withstand superimposed thermal stresses, and to combat both oxidation or corrosion conditions. The total system, both substrate and coating, must be considered and the proposed environmental working conditions must be specified accurately. An overview is given of the two basic systems available: diffusion techniques including pack cementation, slurry cementation, fluidized beds and metalliding; and overlay coatings, which are obtained by the deposition of a corrosion resistant alloy.]]></description>

      <title>HEAVY-DUTY MARINE GAS TURBINE PROJECT. TASK 1/6. OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE AND MAINTENANCE IMPROVEMENT. FINAL REPORT. VOLUME B. MATERIALS DEVELOPMENT</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/57602</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This document describes part of the work performed within Task 1/6, Operational Performance and Maintenance Improvement, of the Heavy-Duty Gas Turbine Development Program or MARAD Project. The MARAD Project is an integrated effort to develop the heavy-duty gas turbine as an alternate competitive form of marine propulsion. This Volume B covers materials development efforts; Volume A covers rig testing and fuel additive development, and Volume C encompasses other research efforts. This volume describes research efforts directed toward establishing the best discrete materials(s) for application in residual fuel-burning gas turbines. A large number of materials were concurrently investigated initially: (1) alloys: (2) composites; (3) EB coatings; (4) claddings; (5) diffusion coatings, and (6) ceramics. Intensive development evaluations (including fabrication of trial components) showed the sheet cladding to be the best material.]]></description>

      <title>THE EFFECT OF SURFACE FILMS ON FATIGUE CRACK INITIATION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/9944</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The suppression of fatigue crack initiation by surface films can be viewed in terms of two mechanisms:  (1) protection against environmental attack, and (2) suppression of surface plasticity.  These two mechanisms are described in detail. Environmental protection requires a flawless coating which is impermeable to the active component of the environment and resistant to fracture under repeated cyclic strain. Suppression of plasticity requires a film with an elastic modulus greater than the substrate metal.  The stiffer coating repels dislocations from the surface and suppresses the development of slip bands and crack initiation. (Author)]]></description>

      <title>JOINT SURFACE EFFECT SHIP PROGRAM REVIEW. ECONOMIC REVIEW AND APPRAISAL OF SURFACE EFFECT SHIPS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/3381</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Review is made of the Surface Effect Ship (SES) relative to projected commercial economic fesibility. Anticipated direct operating costs of a 4000-ton SES are compared to the C5A transport aircraft. The extent of the economic gain is dependent upon environmental conditions and design factors such as propulsive efficiencies, structural fraction, and lift-to-drag ratios. Chemically-fueled SES possesses commercially competitive costs to large transport aircraft assuming propulsion efficiencies of 65% are feasible. The ship is well adapted for nuclear propulsion which would increase the cost advantage to nearly unlimited ship ranges. The full determination of economic feasibility requires data on suitable experimental craft in a seaway.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[This unclassified and unlimited bibliography on Protective Treatments (Industrial Process) is grouped under three major headings: Anodic coatings, antifouling coatings, and diffusion coatings. Corporate Author-Monitoring Agency, Subject, Title, and Personal Author Indexes are included. (Author)]]></description>

      <title>WHAT TO CONSIDER IN SPECIFYING ZINC COATINGS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1397</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Some more detailed aspects for specifying zinc coatings and zinc-coated iron and steel are presented.  How to obtain most favorable results with the four most common zinc coating processes, including hot dip galvanizing, zinc electroplating, sherardizing and zinc spraying/metallizing. Several points briefly considered include thread allowance, casting design for finishing, fillets, machining, heat treatments, stress relief, and warpage and distortion.]]></description>

      <title>THE DIFFUSION PROCESS FOR TITANIUMIZATION OF STEEL AND ITS USE IN SHIPBUILDING</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1943</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Diffusion saturation of steel articles with titanium is the most effective method of forming protective coatings. Titanium coating is utilized to increase resistance to wear, corrosion, and erosion.  The present work establishes the composition of a reaction mixture permitting the titanium coating of steel and cast iron without the use of hydrogen, argon, and other additives in the usual soaking pits.
